Wake Up

One in 68 children diagnosed as on the spectrum is the average. In places like New Jersey and Delaware the rates are much higher. School systems cannot keep up. For those who age out of the system...very little help is in place. In some places, insurance is not required to cover the coasts of therapy. The system is being overwhelmed. Wake up! The schools are overburdened and non-profits that specialize in the therapies that offer the chance for children on the spectrum are underfunded. There is no cure. There is no drug to treat autism. 

The example below is just one case of how a school system is bending under the burden. But, it isn't really about the schools. It should be about the children and their families.
